Dear Rohan,

 I am so glad to hear from you recently, to answer your question as final term exams are approaching I am in intense preparation mode. I have taken a break from part-time jobs so that I can concentrate on my studies explicitly.

 You might be aware, I had to skip many classes
last
 month as I was admitted to hospital
due to
 jaundice, and
thus
, I am a bit nervous about the papers
this
 time.
However
, thankfully, my roommates are there to help me and I have got hold of written notes from a close friend that are proving to be helpful.

 I am targeting to achieve a 7 CGPA in order to maintain a good percentile
overall
. I have got good grades in the
last
 five semesters,
hence
, getting something in
this
 range will be more than enough to place me in a good position in the class. 

I hope everyone in your family is doing fine! I will write to you once I am done with the finals.

 Yours Truly, Dev
